Running is definitely not an option.
Although there is still a month before the sect competition officially begins, everything has already been decided. Unless Wang Junze truly wants to betray the sect and flee, there is no room for refusal.
Moreover, Wang Junze understands that this isn't someone targeting him personally, but rather Zhou Dongfei, the Sect Leader, using him as a model to motivate and urge other sect disciples to work harder in their cultivation.
Besides, even if he fails, there is no actual loss for Wang Junze.
He is ranked among the True Disciples in the Ascending Sword Tier, and even if defeated by Inner Sect Disciples, it won't affect his status.
Furthermore, everyone knows that Wang Junze has just entered the sect, and at the time of joining, his cultivation was only at Condensing Truth. Even now, having stepped into Refining Spirit, it's merely the initial stage. With such cultivation, losing to a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect would hardly be shameful!
In fact, this so-called sect-wide enemy is merely taking the blame for Zhou Dongfei.
After all, the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect wouldn't dare question the Sect Leader, so they vent their frustrations on Wang Junze. If they truly can't win, at worst, Wang Junze would endure some more beatings without facing any real danger.
However, on the contrary, what if Wang Junze manages to win this sect competition?
Forget about challenging those true disciples across levels, as long as he can maintain an unbeaten streak at the same tier, it would be enough to make Wang Junze famous in the Profound Moon Sword Sect, and even renowned throughout the Northern Domain.
No matter how you look at it, this is clearly more advantageous than disadvantageous.
Understanding this, Wang Junze's mind naturally calmed down.
He even began to nurture a touch of ambition in his heart!
He desires not only strength but also fame!
After all, three years later, if he intends to stop Su Yuwei from marrying Prince Yu in the Capital City, he needs substantial fame; otherwise, how could he possibly sway Prince Yu? Influence the Emperor's decisions?!
And the accumulation of fame requires a long process.
So why not start now?
He intends to win this sect competition and become the most outstanding prodigy of the Profound Moon Sword Sect. Not daring to claim to be on par with Luo Qingxuan, he wants at least everyone to recognize him as the sect's most exceptional prodigy, with hopes to catch up and surpass Luo Qingxuan in the future…
Even to potentially become another unparalleled powerhouse like Li Shang Sword Venerable!
Certainly, this breakthrough and advancement in the Sword Pool give Wang Junze the confidence to entertain such thoughts!
Previously, with only a Condensing Truth cultivation, no matter how great the potential, he was still too weak overall.
But now, with this remaining month, although Wang Junze has left the Sword Pool, he does not plan to waste any time, using this opportunity instead to seek out the Sect Leader and request some cultivation resources to enhance his strength further before the competition.
...
In fact, Wang Junze underestimated the influence of the Profound Moon Sword Sect's sect-wide competition.
This isn't merely a matter of the Profound Moon Sword Sect; the news has quickly spread throughout the entire Northern Domain. More intriguingly, this time Zhou Dongfei deliberately released some quotas allowing other sects and families to send observers!
Moreover, Zhou Dongfei even hinted that if these sects and families have talented disciples, they also have the chance to participate in the competition, with the opportunity to earn substantial benefits, including entry into the Profound Moon Sword Sect.
This determines that this competition will undoubtedly become the grandest event in the Northern Domain.
...
Wang Junze's plan to ask for resources proved far easier than imagined.
Zhou Dongfei hesitated not in the slightest, giving whatever was requested and even doubling it. Not only because Wang Junze is his disciple, but because Wang Junze has demonstrated immense potential, and most importantly, he has willingly yielded the previous legacy resources.
This is something no one could possibly object to.
"These are all merely routine resources; during the sect competition if you achieve good results, there will be more benefits."
Looking at Wang Junze, Zhou Dongfei said with a smile, "This time, the rewards for the sect competition are quite generous. No need to hold back; not only for the sect's Sword Techniques, but also feel free to display the heritage you acquired from the ruins. I also want to see… how strong your true combat power is!"
Zhou Dongfei spoke quite candidly.
In the past, during the ruins battle, one reason was that Wang Junze's realm was too low at the time, lacking significant reference value. Additionally, he hadn't seen it directly, unable to make an intuitive judgment.
Regarding the Ascending Sword Tier and practices in the Sword Pool, it's more about potential than combat power!
For a sword cultivator, direct combat ability is the most crucial aspect!
After all, truly formidable sword cultivators pursue the ultimate killing power of a single sword shattering ten thousand techniques.
Furthermore, this sect competition is merely a rehearsal; the upcoming match between disciples from the Four Symbols Sect and the Profound Moon Sword Sect is the true focus.
This matter is known only to a limited number of Elders, with no one else being aware.
"I will!"
Nodding, Wang Junze agreed without hesitation.
"Alright, you may leave now."
Apparently recalling something, Zhou Dongfei spoke again, "By the way, in the coming days, quite a few Outer Sect disciples may try to get close to you… You might consider selecting one or two to take care of your daily needs. This isn't about indulgence and excess, but saving time and energy to focus more on cultivation."
"I'll consider it, thank you for the reminder, Master!"
After thinking for a moment, Wang Junze didn't directly refuse.
This reminded him of Lan Yi, who had handled many of his trivial matters back in Jubei City. It must be said, this indeed is a good idea.
Watching Wang Junze depart, Zhou Dongfei raised his eyebrows slightly, murmuring softly, "He actually dared to agree, well… just right to observe his temperament!"
The so-called Outer Sect disciples serving daily needs aren't so innocent.
Especially for male prodigies like Wang Junze, there are certainly many attractive female disciples in the Outer Sect who wish to climb higher by taking this opportunity, willing to pay any price for it!
This price undoubtedly includes offering their bodies.
Nonetheless, such matters are plentiful, and as long as it's consensual and without coercion, even the Profound Moon Sword Sect can't genuinely forbid it, leaving it to personal discretion.
Moreover, Zhou Dongfei doesn't want Luo Qingxuan and Wang Junze to have any entanglement at all. If Wang Junze truly follows through, it would swiftly lead Luo Qingxuan to give up on him, which wouldn't be a bad outcome.
